Chapter 637 Knowing people, knowing the face, but not knowing the heart!
Xu Xun's words were ordinary. However, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong looked at each other in shock, and Zhu Houzhao was even more furious. k First update He almost stood up from his seat and pointed at Xu Xun's nose to say something.
, but my hands were trembling for a while, and my mouth was trembling for a while, but in the end, only a few fragmentary words came out.
"Okay... hello!" After a long silence, he suddenly slammed the table and said sternly, "I haven't asked yet, why did you burn the things?"
"Seeing that thing will only make the emperor more angry." Xu Xun stood in front of Zhu Houzhao, his voice still as steady as before, "Even if Eunuch Liu has made any mistakes, he has tried his best to make up for it with his life.
What's more, he is dead now, why does the emperor need to pursue these things anymore? The emperor might as well think about it, what Zhu Chenhao can give to Eunuch Liu, why can't the emperor give it to him? If he were not coerced, Eunuch Liu would definitely not give it to him.
You will get confused and give your life gate to others."
Although Zhang Yong had some doubts about Xu Xun's approach, many times of tacit cooperation made him hesitate and second the proposal. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, Lao Liu has been with you for so many years, and you still don't know his temper.
Is it true? Although he is a little greedy and independent, but on one hand, you are the emperor who has served you for many years, and on the other hand, he is just Zhu Chenhao who only takes money to do things for others. How stupid does he have to be to backhandedly help Zhu Chenhao?
Hao?"
Gu Dayong also smiled naively and echoed: "Your Majesty, Xu Xun burned something just because he was afraid of your displeasure. Please sympathize with his painstaking efforts... After all, the old Liu people are all dead, maybe the thing is actually
It’s fake, it’s just pouring dirty water on him.”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly fell into silence again. Even he himself couldn't tell whether he was angry, regretful, or other indescribable emotions. When Ma Yongcheng and the other three heard about Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's numerous crimes, they immediately arranged a plan there
How to bring down Liu Jin, they even used trap tactics, and Xu Xun, Zhang Yonggu and Dayong had just made it clear that they were not on good terms with Liu Jin. But all three of them chose to protect Liu Jin in front of him, and their attitude was unexpected
Quite different!
"You all go out and leave me alone for a while."
Seeing that the little emperor had obviously made up his mind, Xu Xun pulled Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong to resign. After leaving the room where Zhu Houzhao stayed, he sent Gu Dayong to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to check some evidence.
Oh, Zhang Yong then grabbed Xu Xun's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Even if you promised Lao Gu to protect Lao Liu's family, is this really too much?"
"Have you ever thought about it, even if Old Liu dies and takes Prince Ning's back, what will the emperor think if he sees such an alliance that divides the world equally?" Xu Xun sighed when he saw Zhang Yong suddenly frowned.
He said in a tone, "Although Old Liu is sorry for us, are we not guarding against him? He made a mistake in front of the emperor, but in the end he used his life to make up for it. I just heard what you said about the emperor's reaction when he found the person."
You know that the emperor forgives him from the bottom of his heart. In this case, there is no need to add any extraneous matters. Throughout the ages, we have always been with you like a tiger, but we are the luckiest. The emperor delegates power and lets go. We can often do things without any constraints.
, but what if we don’t have that trust?”
Zhang Yong suddenly raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "You mean, where there is the first, there is the second?"
"Ma Yongcheng and the others went too far before, let's just be good people for once." Xu Xun meaningfully patted Zhang Yong, who was more than twice his age, and whispered, "Sometimes, it's better to be good people."
It's far better than being a villain. Old Liu is already dead, and there aren't any outstanding talents in his family, so it's better to keep people on the front lines."
“Aren’t you afraid that the bosses below you will cause trouble?”….
After hearing this, Xu Xun naturally knew what Zhang Yong was worried about. He remembered that Emperor Yingzong fell during the Tumubao Incident, and Wang Zhen died. When the news reached the capital, Wang Zhen's party members almost immediately
The entire army was wiped out, and some were even beaten to death. Nowadays, Liu Jin is no less hated than Wang Zhen. It is obvious that a group of people attacked him after this.
He just thought for a moment and then said: "Before I left, I left a handwritten letter to Zhang Fuhua, Lin Jun, and Kang Hai and the others. As long as they restrain themselves a little, no matter how troublesome the people below are, nothing big will happen.
What's more, the emperor lost his temper just now, but after today, no matter how many bad things Lao Liu did, they will be overshadowed by his good things in the past, and today's last move of sacrificing his life for assassination."
It's not a bad thing to make a fuss. Zhu Houzhao remembered Liu Jin's old relationship, but at the same time he knew that he had many shortcomings. Only in the capital could Zhang Cai, who was also highly praised by Zhu Houzhao, successfully accept the huge political legacy left by Liu Jin. He was not that
He has great ambitions and wants to dominate the court, not to mention that he is a hereditary marquis. This time when he goes back, Zhu Houzhao may have a whim to give him the title of Duke of the country. He will reach the top at such a young age, and he will go to all the places in the next few decades.
Will he be someone's target? People like Zhang Fuhua, Lin Han and others who are fair and upright among the people will trust him, but who knows that others won't point the finger at him because Liu Jin is gone? And he has no interest in hiding outside the wall now.
Or maybe he would go to a small island in Nanyang and live a prosperous life of peace and wealth!
Zhang Yong didn't think as much as Xu Xun. After thinking about it, he felt that although Xu Xun's approach was more merciful, they had achieved a great victory and there were not many big problems in being a human being. So he couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Forget it, the Liu family doesn't have any outstanding talents anyway, just consider them lucky!"
Xu Xun and Zhang Yonggu did not intend to kill them all, but it did not mean that Ma Yongcheng and Wei Bin Luoxiang did not want to. After recognizing Zhu Houzhao, they experienced a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, plus Liu Jin and Ning Wang Zhu Chen
Hao Tong died, and they immediately saw an unprecedented opportunity. Therefore, when they learned that Xu Xun, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were not in the mansion, but went to Prince Ning's Mansion, the Yiwei Department of Prince Ning's Mansion, and the Nanchang Vanguard Camp respectively, they immediately
I rushed over. Fortunately, except for Zhang Yong and Xu Xun's most intimate guards, no one else knew that Tianzi lived here, so they walked in easily and cleverly.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Ma Yongcheng and the three of them looked at each other with mixed expressions on their faces. Then Ma Yongcheng gently knocked on the door, but they did not dare to call the emperor, but whispered in a very respectful voice.
: "Brother Shou?"
"Come in!"
Although the voice inside was extremely cold and hard, the three of them knew with their toes that Zhu Houzhao was determined to feel bad after yesterday's turmoil, so no one took it to heart. They agreed and opened the door and filed in. They waited until the door was closed.
Later, when they arrived in front of Zhu Houzhao, they saw the little emperor holding his chin and sitting coldly in front of the round table. The three of them immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, slaves and others..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I know what you want to ask. I was on Xu Xun's boat before, and I didn't want too many people to know, so I didn't inform you!" Zhu Houzhao snorted with a very ugly face.
Then he said calmly, "Don't let this matter leak out. If anyone leaks the news, I will kill his head!"
These words were very serious, so the three of them naturally kowtowed and did not mention it. After cautiously probing a few words about Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao, they saw that the young emperor was indeed against this prince who was the second to rebel after Prince Anhua.
Feeling very angry, Ma Yongcheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Prince Ning's crime of rebellion is unforgivable, but in the final analysis, if the guards were not returned to him and aroused his ambition, he would not have caused such a big mess.
Please forgive me for saying frankly that Ning Fan’s people have sent Liu Jin things again and again in the capital, worth tens of thousands of gold…”….
Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly changed. Listening to Ma Yongcheng carefully listing Liu Jin's corruption and bribery, and even some extremely detailed figures in the middle, his expression suddenly became darker and darker. Although he had vaguely heard of these before,
But he always dared not believe it, but this time when he sent Liu Jin to Jiangnan, he heard Liu Jin admit certain things personally, and now he no longer regarded it as a pure frame-up. However, even so, he was still furious.
.
You know it, why didn't you tell me earlier?
When Luo Xiang saw Zhu Houzhao's eyes hiding deep anger, he just thought that Zhu Houzhao hated Liu Jin for betraying his holy grace, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin used to cover the sky with one hand, and none of us dared to mess with him. I once ordered you to go there
Huaiyang, as a result, he forced the inner factory to compete with the slaves for credit, and pushed the slaves back to the capital. Then there were repeated runs. The slaves were really angry, so they once left a letter on the imperial road to remind the emperor, but who knew
He actually used smooth words and almost trapped the emperor into injustice..."
Hearing Luo Xiang ramble about how he had taken great pains to remind himself in the past, Zhu Houzhao's face turned even darker for a moment. It was Luo Xiang who dared to leave the letter to the emperor? They are all people around him. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly.
Do you still need to be so mysterious and ghostly? This person is clearly trying to trick someone but doesn’t want to get into trouble. He is simply smarter than a ghost!
After all, Wei Bin was the smarter one. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was really ugly, and worried that it would be self-defeating, he quietly stabbed Ma Yongcheng and Luo Xiang in the back, and finally said sadly: "Your Majesty, in short, what do you mean by the slaves?
, The Chief of Ceremony is an important position for internal officials, and it must not be managed by one person, otherwise it will be really easy for things to happen..."
But before he finished his carefully crafted words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it any longer. He actually stood up and said, "That's enough, I don't want to hear any more! Get out of here!"
On the one hand, Xu Xun and Liu Jin were quite unruly, but they took a big risk to burn Liu Jin's evidence, and did not say anything bad about Xu Xun in front of him; on the other hand, when the three of them saw Liu Jin's unlucky situation, they all came up to add insult to injury.
What do you want to do?
They have been following him for so long, but he still knows people but not their hearts!
This sudden burst of emperor's wrath caught Ma Yongcheng and the others off guard, but facing Zhu Houzhao, whose face turned red, the three of them looked at each other for a while. In the end, no one dared to stop the argument, so they could only stand up and leave quietly. When they were out,
The door of the house was closed, but before anyone could say anything, they heard a bang from inside, which was obviously Zhu Houzhao throwing something.
Faced with this situation, the three people couldn't help but look at each other in amazement. Thinking about how miserable they were at the hands of Liu Jin, now it's time to settle those old debts! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come
